Metroid prime 1 for Gamecube got like what?! 9.3-9.7?!

Edit: Great battle this is gonna be indeed! But it doesnt matter... 9.2 versus 9.4 for example, whats the freakin difference?!

 I don't think there are really going to many if any real puzzles in the game (if they are it's going to be flip the switch to open the door over there type of not-really-puzzle puzzles) since deciding how you want to go about playing and what method you should use to get past an encounter is the real puzzle element in this game.

Soriku said: Bioshock = 15 hrs But I say Bio'll get a better score overall.

 It may only take you 15 hours to beat, but the replay value is unprecedented. You can play the game over and over and experience a different 15hrs every time, so it's more like 15hrs*x, where x is an integer between 1 and infinity. For the record, my total play-time will probably have x closer to infinity than 1 in the equation.

If Bioshock really has 60, or 80, or however many plasmids they said there would be...it could very well be GOTY...it's so AMAZING!

I'm definitely throwing a Bioshock party, 50s style, when it comes out.

Metroid will be amazing too...just a totally different game...

No. There are proper puzzles in the game, like aligning rings using special controls or complicated shifting mazes. For instance, in MP1, there were slots you had to Boost Ball in that rotated sections of a large column with magnetic tracks up with. When you aligned them, the tracks led to a new slot and you had to be careful not to misalign or you'd have to start over. That's a puzzle.

its not objective ever those reviews. i dont trust them anynmore from any site anyway.

its still 1 person who reviews it, and lets say ill look up 10 numbers starrs % etc it still are 10 persons. most likely persons who are specialiced in 1 console so they should love that console otherwise they wont review thousands of games.
so the numbers are anyway to high. if you like it you like. even it got an 5.4 i can still enjoy it while a 9.6 could be horrible.

besides those games cant be compared. its just a waste of forum space. better compare mp1 mp2 and mp3 togehter.

 The "wandering around" and "puzzle" nature of the game? See, I might call that the "exploration" and "intelligent" nature of the game. If you want a game that's "linear" and "FPS oriented," as opposed to "open-ended" and "new and interesting," pick up almost any other shooter out there; Metroid isn't for you. Just because the series switched over to a FPS view and combat system doesn't mean the series should also be stripped of everything that set it apart from other FPS games in the first place.

If you couldn't tell, I'd be pissed royally if they did what you're suggesting.

(@twesterm - I think you were referring to Bioshock; they were talking about MP3.)

I'd rather trust a professional critic than thousands of gamers, to be honest, because fans tend to set a game's score offbalance.

See RottenTomatoes vs. IMDB movie scores. I trust RottenTomatoes usually, because it's professional critics' words. IMDB voters are usually big fans and just put "10/10" without thinking.

 There's something to be said for the wisdom of crowds, though. I put my faith in larger sample sizes.

 I was talking about Bioshock.
